From the stuff I read the impeller size doesn't matter as much as getting a tighter tolerance and smoother n larger coolant ports n channels

If I remember correctly, Dave (Motorrad) was doing some impeller and housing mods a few years ago, Sandblaster could've been involved in it too...I think it was in the "K5 Cooling" thread.

Yeah I was reading it on oem-cycle I think I get the jist of that whole theory. Although I was about to put my head through the wall when I was done. Lol too tech for me man, Dave has a tendency to do that to me. I sure do miss him being round here

Me too, he brought a lot of knowledge to the table, and not just about bikes.
sandblaster:
Yeah, David and I did a lot of those kinds of things.
He'd post a idea and I would see if I could get it done before him :evil:
Anyhow, there is a company that is coming out with a KX500 impeller kit that works better then any other of the big impeller kits.
We found that some of the big impeller kits didn't cool as well as the stock impellers did :-o
I think we all miss Motorrad to some degree...
He inspired a lot of us to do some really cool things and some really dumb ones :lol:
But it was certainly fun 8-)
reklessj:
I like that TSR setup too
